Sally Ann Cooke Charleston, West Virginia Three years One night, as old St. Peter slept , He left the door of Heaven ajar , When through, a little angel crept. And came down with a falling star. I never really believed that the best things came in small packages until 1 met Sally Cooke. All wrapped up in one little bundle are enthusiasm, a joyful out- look on life, and the ability to live each day to the fullest. Because of her bounce and spirit Sally is always in demand, whether ir is doing one of her famous yellow team cheers or busily supporting a class or school activity. If I am looking for Sally, 1 can usually find her in the center of a gay and laughing group of girls contributing her own brand of wit to the merriment or recalling that last ' fantastic week- end at U. Va. Mount Vernon will be so lonely next year without you, Sally. Well miss your fun-loving West Vir- ginia charm! Elisabeth Kingsbury Calderon Ridgefield, Connecticut Two years When my cue comes, call me, and l will answer Every Tuesday afternoon I see Liz running down to the gym for the weekly Prep Players rehearsal. It seems chat the minute she sets foot in the gym she has the whole meeting organized and underway. With her constant interest and ability, Liz has contributed to the success of Prep Players. In spite of her concentration on dramatics this year, Liz has also found time to express her sincere interest in her friends, make good grades, and also have fun. When I first $aw r Liz, 1 was impressed with her sophisticated and cosmopolitan looks, but I soon realized that a deep and true interest in people was the basis of Liz s character. No wonder she is treasured as a wonderful friend. Yellow Team; Cheerleader II, 111, IV; Lend-a-Hand III, IV; Chape J Guild IV; Cellophane 111, IV; Glee Club II, III, IV. 21

Caroline Wilcox Brower Washington, D.C Three years ft A soft answer turneth away wrath A Annapolis, Wesr Point, Yale (in that order) on three consecutive weekends! Three lucky girls? No, just one. People seem to like that little gal, boys in- cluded. The quality of her school work also is superior, and if you look real close, you can see that little Optima pin decorating her blazer. Capable, that ' s a good word for her. Everything she does, she does to the best of her ability. When she was a Junior, she took over Cupola ' s account books. I saw them in June, after everything was all over and you could get a clear picture. They were perfection. Every single penny w r as clearly accounted for. Hockey, tennis, basketball- — she ' s nor just good, she s the best. ' Oh, I can drive ' ' , is her good-natured comment, when the dire need for transportation is expressed. That’s Caroline — good-natured, good worker, good friend. Yellow Team; CUPOLA IV.

Nan Elizabeth Burke Washington, D.C. One year r ' Then give the world the best you have , and the best will come back to you ' Nan is new this year, isn’t she? I can never remem- ber— it seems as if she has been here for ages. Her California charm and subtle sense of humor are so wonderful that she has fitted in with no trouble at all. When you first talk to her, she seems quiet and dignified, but watch out — pretty soon her sparkling repartees and general bounce convey a feeling of happiness to everyone. If you wander into a classroom where Nan and her friends are taking a test, you will notice one striking thing: she ' s not chewing her fingernails, tearing her hair, or twisting her class ring. She ' s going about it calmly, without any fuss or bother, and she gets top grades too. No wonder California is so proud of its female citi- zens — if they are all like Nan! 20

Edith Nash Davis Morristown, Tennessee One year Dost dream of things beyond the moony One day this fall, a new senior arrived at Mount Vernon The first thing I noticed about her was her bouncing enthusiasm for everything and everyone, A little later in the year. Edit was letting off excess energy as a White team cheerleader, and studying dance at the Washington School of Ballet. Edie un- doubtedly is the best dancer on campus. Not only is she a dancer, but she always seems to capeure a star- ring role in Prep Players productions. If you have a problem, Edie is the girl to see. She has a deep understanding of people which is reflected in her sincere outlook on life. MACS. woaT be the same without you next year, Edie You have added more to our spirit than you will ever knowc Daryl Roseanna Curtis Do u g l Aston , Long Island, New York T wo years The way to be happy is to make others so ' ' When the class of 58 gives one of their fashion shows, there is no question about who the senior model will be. Daryl always wins hands down, for she has charm, elegance and the ability to wear clothes well. Under her leadership, Lend-a-Hand lias had a very successful year. Daryl is just naturally kind-hearted, generous, and interested in people, so she is perfect for the job. Is Daryl in the dorm on a weekend? Don ' t be silly! With her good looks and sparkling personality, she is never dateless. The first thing I noticed about Daryl when she came to M.V.S. was her lovely smile. In the two years that she has been here, her smile has brightened many an unhappy moment, and her cheerful disposition lias made everyone her friend.
